Event: the icon thing actually started with Doreen. Alexandrie made her her own kissy icon, just caus eit was funny. Doreen, being such a lovable girl, just keeps kissing everybody. So it was more a joke than anything. Then Annie (China) also got her volupcious icon, also for joke more than anything, because.. well we all knew she had beautiful fonts. Then Jafo got his spellchecker icon, also just for fun. At that point, after a bit, all the admins who wanted one got to have their little icon. Nothing to be jaleous about. It was first meant as a joke, not a reward.
I have mine, but I rarely use it.
